Beyond a Hobby - Travel as a Way of Life

Barbara Endres of Colorado holds a bachelor's degree in international studies from Miami University. A marketing executive in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, Barbara Endres enjoys spending her free time walking, biking, skiing, and traveling.

For most people the thrill of being mobile keeps them traveling around the world constantly. It could be a road trip to the next city, a boat cruise across the country, or a flight to the next continent. They are not on the move because they have a business deal to seal somewhere, but because it has become a part of their lifestyle,

Hitting the road on a long trip, for instance, exposes individuals to different towns and allows them to connect to nature by traveling long, lonely roads before reaching their destination. Traveling also enables an individual to understand and appreciate various cultures around the world. It helps people broaden their perspective, gain more education, and value their diverse life experiences.
